Servicemaster franchise joins Cleaning for A Reason

FORT MADISON, IA — Fighting cancer is difficult enough, but living with it is even tougher — and that''s where Servicemaster of Fort Madison steps in, offering house cleaning to help those in need of a little extra assistance, according to the Daily Democrat.

Mowen Cleaning Service/Servicemaster works in conjunction with the Cleaning for A Reason Foundation: This nonprofit foundation based in Texas offers free professional housecleaning and maid services to improve the lives of women undergoing treatment for cancer — any type of cancer, the article stated.

The Foundation matches qualified patients with cleaning companies who have pledged to provide four free housecleaning visits to each of the women in the program as long as they are undergoing treatment for cancer, the article noted.

"We don''t get a kick-back for doing this," said Cristy Mowen, who has owned Servicemaster with her husband Byron for 10 years.

"We just want to do something that helps out our community. I really thought this was a good cause to join," Mowen added.
